Answer 1

1. Is it possible to use Alamofire for PayPal payment?

A: Yes, it is possible.

2. Which HTTP request is necessary for PayPal payment?

A: As a reference Alamofire HTTP requests fails and https://github.com/contentful-labs/Wunderschnell/blob/master/Phone%20App/PayPalClient.swift both show the Alamofire.request(.Post) methods using Alamofire.

3. Or which framework is best for PayPal payment in iOS?

A: Paypal's SDK is likely considered best practice: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-iOS-SDK

4. Is it best practice to use Alamofire?

A: See answer to Question 3 (both work, just make sure you feel comfortable from a security perspective making your own post request via Alamofire)
